My speciality is working with ethical vegan women entrepreneurs who run food businesses. But if your conscious business resonates with me, and I believe I can help you, I’m open to working with you even if you don’t necessarily fit that category.

When I mentor you, I’m deeply invested in your success and happiness. You can blossom and shine in a safe space! And grow your business in a holistic way.
Motivation – why I’m a vegan business coach
After successfully running a business I was passionate about, allowing a lot of myself to get lost into it, and then coming out wiser on the other side, there’s so much that I have to share with you. Whether you’re already running your own vegan business, or planning to start one, I believe you can benefit from my experience and the lessons I’ve learnt.
I want to help shorten your learning curve and teach you everything I wish someone had taught me a decade ago!
Work with me to follow your soul’s purpose and create goodness in the world, while staying fulfilled and joyful.
Method – holistic approach to coaching
All the knowledge in my arsenal goes into helping you. I’ll mentor you in developing great products, marketing strategies, social media, building healthy business relationships, etc. But at the same time, I’ll also be motivating you to build a positive mindset of abundance, prioritise self-love, value yourself, embrace deservingness, apply manifesting techniques, affirmations, meditation…all the important spiritual practices that have greatly helped me in my own business.
Mantra – self-care, service and surrender
Coming back to these three things again and again has served me well in my entrepreneurship journey. I’ll help you develop these practices too.
Self-Care
When it comes to our start-ups, we often focus entirely on growing our business, and tend to forget about our own emotional and mental well-being. I learnt this the hard way! haha
After many years of being a vegan and running a vegan food business, I’ve put into place some healthy practices that bring mindfulness into productivity, and joy into growth. I’ll guide you to prioritise your fulfilment above all else while setting your goals.
There’s absolutely no point in business growth if it feeds off your peace of mind and happiness. So I believe with all my heart that a successful business strategy involves a plan for prosperity on your own terms!
Service
The more you give, the more you get. Running a conscious business with a goal to make a meaningful, positive impact on the world brings so much value to your life! And it results in personal and business growth in unimaginable ways.
As a strong proponent of collaboration over competition, I believe that joining hands with like minded people and helping each other out is the future of entrepreneurship.
As a part of my coaching, I’ll help you constantly reflect on possible ways you and your business can serve others. Where possible, I’ll help you make meaningful connections so you can grow together.
Surrender
It’s important to have a vision and work towards it, of course. But things don’t always go your way. When there are hurdles on your path, instead of resisting and fighting them, it’s important to surrender to a higher power, a greater plan.
To make your entrepreneurship journey as frictionless as possible, I’ll often remind you to release your mental and emotional burden to your higher self. I’ll help you tune in and create space to find answers from the inside, without allowing what’s happening on the outside to matter.
Kind words from some amazing vegan boss babes
“Sus is truly an embodiment of positivity in this world. She has been a strong pillar of support for me right from the very start, when I quit my 9-5 to become a self-directed vegan chef. Her warmth, encouragement, and words of wisdom coming from years of experience, have played a big part in building my confidence in this area of work, and I’ll always be grateful for that!”
Samyukta Kartik
Vegan Chef, Teacher, Content Creator (Yume Culinary)
“Having Sus as my mentor has been one of life’s biggest wins. I’ve turned to her when things didn’t feel so great, and I’ve turned to her when things have been on a high. Never once have I been let down. My most favourite conversation will always be the one when I asked her if I could come to Carrots for a few weeks to learn the inner workings of a business. She had agreed to me even before I could finish my sentence. Full enthu cutlet!
Throughout the time when I was in Carrots, I got the best guidance and wonderful support. And even after that, I’ve had unflinching support from her, day or night. That’s the kind of heart Sus has. Giving with so much love, following up and constantly spreading joy. No matter what field I pick, what job I do, or what hobby I choose – I know Sus is always there to be my cheerleader.”

“Even when Susmitha hadn’t begun her coaching, she has always been someone I have looked up to, admired and sought advice from pertaining to my vegan start-up. So, when I learnt about her initiative, thanks to my sister, it was a no brainer to take her up on her offer and be mentored by her. It has been an incredible journey that has rendered me not just a guide and philosopher, but also a friend in Susmitha.
I am still at interesting crossroads, as far as my business is concerned, but with Susmitha guiding me and helping me take some important calls, I feel that the signal on the path to inevitable success is always green. The curriculum is very personalized and yet structured to bring out the best in you, holistically and harness yours and your venture’s true potential in an efficient manner.
Regardless of which stage your business is at, I would definitely recommend seeking Susmitha’s coaching so that you are exposed to someone as knowledgeable and adept as one can be and also find the comfort of a friend and confidant in someone who cares for you beyond professional realms. Reciprocating with your care and concern comes naturally too. I can’t thank Susmitha enough for all the knowledge, value, care and affection she brings to the table – thank you.”

FAQs
If you’d like me to mentor you, I prefer that you are an ethical vegan, running a strictly vegan business. In some cases I do consider coaching non-vegans who run conscious businesses that offer completely vegan products/services.
Though I give preference to women entrepreneurs for various reasons (my mentoring is based completely on my personal experiences, so it’s bound to help other women like me most), I’m open to coaching people of all genders if we resonate with each other.
Both. You can connect with me if you already have a business and need coaching, or if you want to start a vegan business and could use some guidance before you begin.
Apart from the obvious ones like restaurant, café, home bakery, retail food producer, etc., food business can also mean cooking teachers, YouTubers, bloggers, recipe consultants, and so on.
No, it’s not limited only to food businesses. Though I have many years of experience running a vegan food business myself, my holistic coaching can benefit people running non-food vegan businesses too.
